Run Planning Poker estimation sessions directly on your work items.
💡 No external tools, no sign-ups, no hidden costs. All data is stored inside your Azure DevOps organisation.
How it works
A Planning Poker panel is added to every work item.
Team members open the same work item and each selects a story-point estimate from the Fibonacci sequence. Votes are hidden until the facilitator ends the round, preventing anchoring bias.
Vote — Each participant chooses their estimate from 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, ?, ☕. No one knows sees their vote.
End Voting — Reveal all votes simultaneously and automatically posts the results as a work item comment, so the result is preserved.
New Round — Clear the board and start fresh, if the team needs to re-estimate after discussion.
Privacy & data storage
Votes are stored as collection-scoped documents in the Azure DevOps Extension Data Service — a built-in, free key-value store included with every Azure DevOps organisation. No data leaves your Azure DevOps instance.
Note: Vote values are stored server-side as soon as a card is clicked. Concealment is enforced by the UI; the raw data is accessible to anyone with the permissions to query extension data in your collection. This is the standard approach for zero-infrastructure extensions and is appropriate for trusted teams.
Permissions
The extension requires the following OAuth scopes:
Scope
Reason
